Flopping and other motions he does to get calls from the refs is something Mahomes is very good at, will give him that. Hate to see it in any sport but particularly football.
I agree with you, Patrick Mahomes knows how to play the game within the game so to speak. The officiating in that game was perhaps the worst I have seen for the blatant double standard applied to Kansas City. At least if there isn't a double standard it bloody looks like there is, and that is very bad for the sport. At some point you wonder if a frustrated defender is just going to take his head off because the refs aren't calling it fair.
At a larger level this can't be good for the league long term to see QB's flouting the rules like this. It defeats the fairness in sports idea. I don't know what defenses are supposed to do. If they hit him they get flagged, if they don't Mahomes has shown he fakes going out of bounds and then stays in if the defender lets up. The league has to do something.
Call it fair. That's all we ask.
